[Reporter Zhang Ruizhen/Taichung Report] Yesterday, the body of a 42-year-old white blonde woman was found inside the Evergreen container at Container Terminal No. 32 in Taichung Port. After a preliminary examination, the suspicion of homicide was ruled out. The reason was that the body had no obvious trauma and that the woman was walking around in the container. However, there is no food or drinking water. It is possible that she died of suffocation. As for how the woman entered the container, further investigation is needed. The Taichung District Prosecutor’s Office stated that if the identity of the woman is confirmed, the family will be contacted to handle it in Taiwan, or an agent will be entrusted to handle it. .

The body of the caucasian blonde woman in the container has documents showing that she is 42 years old and lives in Kansas, USA, but there is no food or drinking water in the container. When she was found yesterday, she had been dead for many days, possibly as long as 20 days. It has been severely decomposed, and the smell of corpses at the scene is disgusting.

The Taichung District Prosecutor's Office today assigned prosecutor Zheng Peiqi to conduct an inspection with the forensic doctor and others. No signs of homicide have been found, and there is no suspicion of homicide. In addition, the items in the container (the accessories on the woman's body) are scattered everywhere, indicating that the woman was in the container during her lifetime. She had walked around and moved around, so she should not have been dumped in the container after her death. The main cause of death may be that the gaps in the container were covered with adhesive strips, and there was no air circulation, which caused the woman to suffocate to death.

The above-mentioned container sailed from Los Angeles, USA with an empty container at the end of October this year, crossed the Pacific Ocean, and returned to Taichung Port, Taiwan yesterday. The container personnel who inspected the empty container found that it may have been more than 20 days since the death of the woman. Died before or shortly after sailing from Los Angeles, USA.
